I've been to the recent Rockies vs Padres games and noticed that the Rockies have in their lineup three consecutive batters with the same first name.
#4 Todd Helton
#5 Todd Zeile
#6 Todd Hollandsworth
With Todd Jones in the bullpen it's conceivable that with a double switch in the #7 slot the Rockies could have 4 Todd's in a row. Maybe this has even happened already this season.
So... What is the record for players with the same first name in consecutive spots in a team's lineup?
Just wondering......

Old Dude

a few times this year?

This must have happened last year with Todd Walker, where they could conceivably have had three consecutive Todds and also two consecutive Walkers in the lineup .

If they keep records on this, we're all in trouble ;)

The record for consecutive last names was set at my family reunion softball game.

Best battery of all-time had to be Scott Service and Scott Servais for the Astros a few years ago.

Not sure I agree with that. I watched a few WGN Cubs games in the 80s where Steve Trout was throwing to Steve Lake.

There's the little known Perez quints:
Odalis
Santiago
Yorkis
Neifi
Timoniel
They haven't played on the same team since the Perez family picnic, but their mom had fun making out the lineup card.

That certainly would beat two pairs.
